Heat and Summer Safety Tips for Dogs

How to help prevent sunburn, dehydration and overheating

Overview

Staying cool

Very high temperatures can be dangerous for dogs. These Do’s and Don’ts will help keep your pet safe:

DON’T ever leave your pet in a parked car or truck, not even “just for a minute” and not even with the windows down. The temperature inside a parked vehicle can reach a deadly 160 degrees in five minutes.

DO keep your dog well-groomed so they’re not carrying around excess fur.
